Travelling with my inflatable room

The Travelling with my inflatable room video is based on a performance I conducted over a period of one month, when I travelled in a van with the inflatable room (a latex imprint of a room in Montreal apartment) and ‘camped’ in it at different urban and rural locations across Canada. By combining my personal experiences of displacement with the history of North America, I wanted to connect the ideas of ‘home’ and ‘nomadism’ that denies the dream of a homeland, with the result that home, being portable, is available everywhere; and through the enduring relation with the most unpractical ‘tent’ that involved getting up every two hours to re-inflate so it wouldn’t collapse and suffocate me, reflect on the elements of human failure and vulnerability.
